As I sat this morning thinking. I prayed for revival to come. Do you need reviving? I do and I believe we all do! Trust me! We definitely do! What better day to Set the SPIRITUAL FIRE of revival than on halloween (not capitalized on purpose. It’s insignificant to me. The high holy day of evil.) For many years I didn’t know the origins of the holiday but once I discovered what it’s really about, that was it, no more halloween for me. Now on to the point of my blog…..
As I was checking text messages this morning I saw there is a call to national prayer on November 4, 2024, starting at 6 pm all across the United States. Great American Prayer Event. I’ll be participating and why not start early? They especially want untied national prayer during the event though. Just take time to stop where you are and pray for our great nation. The Bible says, “Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NLT)
Check out the picture below closely. It’s the back of a one dollar bill that I put under my Optelec magnifying machine. This machine helps me see print that I can’t otherwise see with my low vision, as the machine enables me to ZOOM in large and see. Do you see “In God we trust”? Honestly ask yourself, as a nation when did that change? How many Americans can honestly say, “In God we trust”?
The spiritual health of our country, the values of family and integrity have slowly diminished over the years. I’d even go as far as saying it’s “nose DIVED” in the last few years. Let’s be honest, the One True God has been slowly taken out of society and replaced with the false gods of society: the god of pop culture, the god of money, the god of pride, the god of perversity, the god of sex and lust, the god of feel good and do what you want….. I could continue the list, but do you see my point? As a nation we have fallen and it is time to “RETURN TO THE LORD”. It’s time to repent of our nations sins. Great sins! It is time to HUMBLE ourselves and PRAY and SEEK GOD’S FACE! Think about our children and those who have grand children and great grandchildren. Think of their future. This is what the Lord says in Jeremiah 29: “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”” Jeremiah 29:11-14 (NLT) Those are God’s words to us. Will you join me in prayer for our nation? Revival starts with me and you. It starts in the hearts of each believer, and fans into flame in our families, churches, communities and nation. Let’s change the world by falling humbly before the Lord in prayer. He is a Holy God of great mercy and love.
Lord set a fire down in my soul that I can’t contain, I can’t control….. I want more of you God, I want more of you God. …. Will you sing with me? That’s kind of how my heart works. It’s a mix of worship songs(and I don’t always get the words right) , scripture and heart cries to the Lord….and here I go again….. Lay me down Lord, here at your feet. All I have Lord is yours. Lay me down Lord, my heart if yours to keep, all of you is all I need.. Keep it going and feel free to add your own worship. Keep the prayer and praise rising up to the Lord.
As individual, family, churches, communities and nationally we need revival. Praying for you all and sincerely hope you will join this call to prayer. Not just today, not just Monday for the Great American Prayer event but every day. Let us cry out to the Lord. He will hear us and He will answer. Amen.
Be blessed and better yet, Be a blessing ! You are loved!
